Re-start of RHEL server
I had a query that should the RHEL servers in production environment be re-started say every 2-3 months so that the cache is cleared?
I hope, my question is clear that should the Red Hat Linux servers be restarted periodically.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards
